Construction history

In total, 502 Type 32 locomotives were built by various manufacturers from 1902 to 1910.[1]

The machines had an inside frame with the cylinders and the Stephenson valve gear also located inside.[2]

From 1905–1913 additionally 307 machines of the Type 32S, a closely related superheated variant, were built. The Type 32S had slightly different dimensions.
